Nope. Dumb rule. If it's obvious, it stands. If it's in question, re roll
@tabletalkreviews
@tabletalkreviews Күн бұрын
It's not a question of what number is on top. It's a question of was this a fair roll that completed naturally or could this be cheating.

I play DnD and the rule is that you roll again if it’s cocked at all, no matter how minor, but if it’s a nat 20 then it’s a group decision on if it’s cocked enough for a re roll.

what if someone, say A got a high roll (which is good here) but B doesnt like that and says the dice is cocked, so he on purpose pushes it slightly so it falls and get it to reroll?
@tabletalkreviews
@tabletalkreviews 17 күн бұрын
It would be obvious. You place it gently on top and let go. If they do anything else, all other players at the table would report to the ref they are cheating. If they didn't push the cocked die, another player could properly test and show it was indeed valid.

It's a stupid rule, because depending on how careful you are, you can increase or decrease the chance to successfully stack the dice, so it's not 100% random anymore.
@tabletalkreviews
@tabletalkreviews 21 күн бұрын
Not really, the die is placed directly on top. If it's tilted enough to fall off, placing gently won't help you and offsetting the die would be cheating. Dice rolling isn't 100% random anyways.

That's a stupid rule if any person with an interest in the result is performing the stack, because it can easily be done in ways that have very different chances of falling. Perhaps okay if the player objecting gets to choose the player they believe would be happiest with the roll, and that player has to do the stack.

The problem is that tournaments are that serious and need to prevent methods of cheating. You can roll into boxes or dice trays and get predictable results, craps hustlers do this all the time. So trays are not allowed in tournaments.

The roll is always likely to not favour someone in Catan and they will want to test the roll. Generally it should be declared as a rule up front, which they do in tournaments. The odd time I've used this in casual games, I only brought it up when an argument started.

how fast is it compared to just rerolling whenever a dice ends up like that regardless of if it would have passed the test or not?
@tabletalkreviews
@tabletalkreviews 27 күн бұрын
Tournaments are not really about speed, they want to make sure rolls are fair. While they could just have the rule that only flat rolls count, I'm guessing players who have had rolls that are barely tilted complain opponents are rerolling on values that were good for other players. So you have to test in a tournament.

An obstruction doesn't remove the randomness of a dice roll so long as its favoring one face, like the 5 in the video. Re-rolling does remove the randomness because it hurts the roller if the roll was favorable or the opponents in an unfavorable. Unless you get the same number again (removing the purpose of a re-roll in the process), re-rolling makes the game less fun for someone.
@tabletalkreviews

An obstruction doesn't automatically remove the randomness, but it can be used to remove randomness and backstop a roll onto a specific number. Tournaments have to protect from ways people can cheat.
